Join the Canadian Home Care Association to discover how the early identification of individuals and implementing a palliative approach to care can change how people live and die.

You’ll learn to initiate crucial conversations on symptom management, advance care planning, and understanding a person’s values and culture. A team-based approach enhances care by addressing current needs and recognizing future ones.

Identifying individuals who would benefit from a palliative approach is essential because it ensures comprehensive, holistic care for people living with life-limiting conditions. Early identification supports home care providers in having conversations with patients and their families that anticipate concerns about symptom management, prompt discussions about advance care planning and create more opportunities to better understand a person’s values, wishes and culture. It improves the effectiveness of interdisciplinary teams in planning care that considers not only a person’s present physical, psychological, social and emotional needs, but also future needs which arise with advanced illness.
